Bargaining

 

Bargaining = chut4kae3

🙎🏻‍♀️a3ci4 = sister; general address to a woman
👲🏻a3ko1 = brother; general address to a man

Aci was born and bred in Medan. She also likes to bargain, like most Chinese women do.
Ako is the vendor and will defend his price until the last drop of blood. Losing a bargain is losing face, and although he knows that he will lose the bargain, at least he has to close the deal. 

👲🏻Ako: Come, come, come. Everything is beautiful and cheap.
